Chapter 136: Zhou Xingchi's distress
013-11-05
The method he wanted to tell Zhou Xingchi came from his own "memory".
The trajectory of fate is always similar, and in the last life, the Shaolin football crew also encountered this problem. Everyone looked at the empty seats in Jiangwan Stadium and was distressed for a long time before they came up with a solution.
He has the confidence to make Zhou Xingchi accept his current idea.
In the afternoon, it was some small make-up shots, and it was none of his business, and he quickly found Zhou Xingchi.
When Zhou Xingchi was not on the stage, he was personally in charge of the camera, and when he saw Lin Xiao coming, he immediately arranged a group performance position.
Most of the scenes in the reshoot are scenes with little technical content and few lines, and they were filmed very quickly, and the day's filming ended before five o'clock.
Moving machines, dismantling sets, dismantling sets, the set is in the final rush before the end of the day.
"Director Zhou." Lin Xiao walked up to Zhou Xingchi and greeted him.
This former king of comedy, his eyebrows are tightly locked, looking at the empty court, not knowing what to think. For Lin Xiao's greeting, he just nodded casually.
Lin Xiao pondered for a while, he originally thought about how to open his mouth, but after thinking about it, he found that it was not as good as saying it to the point.
Zhou Xingchi's xìng grid is changeable, and for the paranoia of the film, even if he thinks of the perfect starting style, he can't think of what tricks the other party wants to use next, so it's better to make it clear at the beginning.
"Director Zhou is worried about the affairs of Jiangwan Stadium again?" He asked with a smile.
In an instant, Zhou Xingchi's gaze came over. The troubles just now have disappeared in his eyes, and in their place, there is a cautious and angry attitude that has been in the entertainment industry for a long time.
"Give me a reason." His voice also turned cold, and he said without a trace of emotion.
Even if he didn't say it, Lin Xiao could guess that the other party was saying, give him a reason to guess what he was thinking.
"Director Zhou, rest assured, although I have not been in the circle for a long time, I still know very well what to do and what not to do, Zhao Wei's script, I will never read it, I only have my own script in my hand."
Zhou Xingchi looked at him distrustfully for a while, and said coldly, "Then how do you know the continuation of the plot?" ”
"It's actually very simple, Director Zhou." Lin Xiao laughed, "My game is a semi-final, which means that there will definitely be a final, and the final is always impossible to shoot in the stadium of the residential community?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xingchi nodded, sent a monosyllable, and motioned for him to continue.
"Since it's a ball game, there will be spectators. Is it possible that a football tournament has less than 100 spectators? But if you hire a group performer, I'm afraid this number is an astronomical number, I just watched Director Zhou think about the court, I'm afraid I thought of this? Although it was a question sentence, Lin Xiao said it confidently.
Zhou Xingchi was silent, and only after a while did he smile bitterly, as if he had met a bosom friend, and sighed, "Am I so obvious?" ”
"No, not at all." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I also happened to see Director Zhou think about it for a long time, so I guessed it." ”
"You're a smart guy." Zhou Xingchi glanced at him meaningfully, "You have been laughing just now." That's why I'm letting you go on. ”
This sentence was said without beginning or end, but Lin Xiao still listened attentively.
"Sending you a word, laughing, is the expression that artists use the most, whether you want it or not, even if you are crying and laughing." Zhou Xingchi said lightly, "Okay, you can tell me what you mean, you won't come to talk to me just to guess what I think?" I'm not so idle. ”
Zhou Xingchi at this moment is like a heavenly king, which is far from Zhou Xingchi, who had an idea at the moment in the "hood incident".
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't even tell which was his true form. If his previous performance was sincere, then he only had four words to describe it: "wise and foolish".
"Sure enough, the superstars who have been mixed for more than ten years are all people!" He secretly despised it in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work." ”
"Oh? Do you have a way? Hearing this, Zhou Xingchi's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light, "Let's hear it, since I won Jiangwan Stadium, I have been thinking of a way, but these millions of votes for group performances are not what I want to see." If you're going to say this, then you don't need to say it. ”
"Of course not." Lin Xiao didn't say it directly, but said as if asking, "Director Zhou, what do you think, how about using ordinary people to act?" ”
"No way!" Zhou Xingchi denied it in one bite, a look of disappointment swelled up on his face, and he sighed and said, "Although these 'meat background' ordinary people are completely competent, it is absolutely impossible for them to shout at a certain time, marvel at a certain time, and have a special reaction at a certain time!" ”
He frowned and glanced at Lin Xiao, "I have thought about this method a long time ago, the masses have no quality of actors at all, and they can't do the order and prohibition, what am I going to do?" ”
Lin Xiao was not disappointed at all, he knew that in the last life, it was the mobilization of the masses of the people, coupled with computer post-synthesis and special effects, that there was a packed stadium!
"What if, voluntarily, the people did it willingly?" He laughs.
"Voluntary? Not a penny, but also at our request to volunteer? Zhou Xingchi shook his head, "Lin Xiao, you think too much." Anyone can be an actor, and not everyone can be an actor. ”
"Others can't, but Director Zhou, you can!" Lin Xiao said categorically.
Looking at the other party's serious face, Zhou Xingchi also restrained his sadness, and his intuition told him that the other party was not joking.
Is there really a way to get the masses to act voluntarily? And obey all the orders of the crew?
In the past few days, he has been thinking about it for a long time and has not thought of a way, he naturally demands perfection for the movie that all his net worth is thrown into, and the cost of millions of group performances is not within his consideration at all, because this has greatly exceeded expectations.
So when he heard that a hole was coming to him, he almost drove the other party out.
But now, can there be a turnaround? Despite having the crowd automatically fill the stadium without pay, and still obey his command?
It sounds like a fantasy. But it also made him involuntarily say, "Tell me? ”
"Director Zhou, you are a king and a superstar. It's fair to say that a lot of people in my generation grew up watching your movies. Lin Xiao said sincerely.
No one doesn't like to listen to good words, and this recognition of strength made Zhou Xingchi smile, "Don't think that you can get over by playing tricks, if you don't have a good way, I won't agree." ”
"First of all, I want to ask Director Zhou to promise one thing." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "If this method can work, the crew must be open during filming, even if the reporter comes in and sees it, there is no way, otherwise, this method will be useless." ”
"I promise." Zhou Xingchi thought about it for a while: "You better talk about your method first." ”
"Second, I think everybody has to be involved in this, because it's not something that one or two people can do."
"No problem."
"The third point ......"
"That's it!" Zhou Xingchi's superstar bearing just now flew out of the nine clouds in an instant, and he scolded with a smile: "Buzz, buzz, you're big!" What do you think you Luo Jiaying? It's been so many years since Journey to the West, how can there be such a verbose person! ”
Lin Xiao was also amused, he really had a bit of Tang Seng just now.
"I'll say yes to everything, you just say it." Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but find a place to sit down, "After talking for a long time, it's not enough to get to the point, and your appetite has been hanged by you." ”
"Then I'll be blunt." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "My method is to announce the filming location and publicize it, but the slogan reads, 'Zhou Xingchi's first trinity movie, fulfill your movie dream, and in the last scene, you exist!'" ”
Zhou Xingchi's mouth moved, but he unexpectedly did not deny it, but just said, "What group of people?" ”
"College students! High school student! Lin Xiao said brightly: "They are the most powerful level of star chasing!" When you graduate, the pressure of life comes with it, and there is not much to keep chasing. We can print notices, billboards, and put them at the door of every middle school, high school, and even elementary school! The few universities that can also put ......"
"Smack!" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi immediately slapped his palms excitedly, and his eyes lit up, "Good way!" ”
He already fully understood what Lin Xiao meant!
Use your own brand effect to say the requirements at the beginning, students come, and many of their parents will come! It seems that it is only advertised in schools, but in fact, it pulls a whole family! The number of people has simply doubled!
"So, let's shoot on Sunday!" Without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak again, Zhou Xingchi excitedly spun around in place, shaking his hand nervously, "Let's take a look at the number of people who took the first day!" If that's not enough, use the computer to synthesize it......"
"Director Zhou." Lin Xiao interrupted him for the first time, but Zhou Xingchi no longer had any dissatisfaction, and his eyes were full of joy.
"Say, what else do you have in mind?"
Lin Xiao smiled, "This is not enough, when to shout, when to applaud, someone needs to drive, although a large number of group performances are not needed, but a small number of group performances are still necessary, their main job is to drive the crowd, you can put them in a position where they can show their faces, or make a special response, plus our staff, it should be about the same." I just don't know if this thing can be ......."
This is his real purpose, and he hides it until the end.
He will definitely do what he promised, although he doesn't look down on money, but the emotion brought to him by the words of the beard is enough for him to give it a try.
Men are such strange creatures, sometimes they will stick knives in their ribs for a hint of emotion, and sometimes they will stick two knives in others for a hint of pleasure.
Zhou Xingchi laughed: "Yes!" It will be done! It's the most creative and reliable idea I've ever heard! ”
He walked around excitedly, "When I started directing the film, I almost forgot that I was originally the king of comedy!" At least they have to come and see it for the sake of onlyyou! ”
Lin Xiao laughed, talking about Journey to the West, I am afraid that the only thing that can match it in that era of comedy is that the East Becomes the West, which can be called a classic in Chinese comedy that never retreats.
It is precisely this brand effect that perfectly completed the miracle of 10,000 people sitting in the previous life.
